Abstract

An analysis unit analyzes a medical image and acquires an analysis result. An interpretation report creation unit creates an interpretation report on a disease based on the analysis result. A display control unit displays the medical image and the interpretation report on a display. In response to an instruction to modify one of a disease region in the medical image and a description of the disease region in the interpretation report, a modification unit modifies the other one of the disease region in the medical image and the description of the disease region in the interpretation report.

Claims (53)

1. A medical image display device, comprising at least processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

access an interpretation report that is generated by analyzing a medical image, including a plurality of voxels, using machine learning, and determine that the medical image includes a region of a disease when at least one of the plurality of voxels is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value;

display the medical image including the disease and the interpretation report including a description of the disease on a display;

determine whether there is an instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated;

determine that there is the instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated; and

modify, in response to determining that there is the instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated, the region of the disease in the medical image.

2. The medical image display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the interpretation report includes a certainty factor that the region of the disease in the medical image is a disease.

3. The medical image display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the medical image is a brain image, and the disease is cerebral infarction.

4. The medical image display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the interpretation report is associated with a past interpretation report of the same patient.

5. The medical image display device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the interpretation report is associated with a past medical image of the same patient associated with the past interpretation report.

6. The medical image display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the interpretation report includes ASPECTS.

7. The medical image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an analysis unit that analyzes the medical image and acquires an analysis result on the disease.

8. The medical image display device according to claim 7 , further comprising:

an interpretation report creation unit that creates the interpretation report based on the analysis result.

9. A medical image display method, comprising:

accessing an interpretation report that is generated by analyzing a medical image, including a plurality of voxels, using machine learning, and determine that the medical image includes a region of a disease when at least one of the plurality of voxels is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value;

displaying, via at least one processor, the medical image including the disease and the interpretation report including a description of the disease on a display;

determining whether there is an instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated;

determining that there is the instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated; and

modifying, via the at least one processor, in response to determining that there is the instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated, the region of the disease in the medical image.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a medical image display program, executable by at least one processor, causing a computer to execute:

access an interpretation report that is generated by analyzing a medical image, including a plurality of voxels, using machine learning, and determine that the medical image includes a region of a disease when at least one of the plurality of voxels is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value;

display the medical image including the disease and the interpretation report including a description of the disease on a display;

determine whether there is an instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated;

determine that there is the instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated; and

modify, in response to determining that there is the instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated, the region of the disease in the medical image.

11. A medical image display device, comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

analyze, using machine learning, a medical image including a disease, the medical image including a plurality of voxels, and determine that the medical image includes a region of a disease when at least one of the plurality of voxels is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value;

create an interpretation report including a description of the disease based on the analysis result;

display the medical image in which the region of the disease is specified and the interpretation report on a display;

determine whether there is an instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated;

determine that there is the instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated; and

modify, in response to determining that there is the instruction to modify one of a region of the disease in the medical image and the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated, the other one of the region of the disease in the medical image and the description of the disease in the interpretation report.

12. A medical image display method, comprising:

analyzing, via at least one processor, using machine learning, a medical image including a disease, the medical image including a plurality of voxels, and determining an analysis result that the medical image includes a region of the disease when at least one of the plurality of voxels is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value;

creating, via the at least one processor, an interpretation report including a description of the disease based on the analysis result;

displaying, via the at least one processor, the medical image in which the region of the disease is specified and the interpretation report on a display;

determining whether there is an instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated:

determining that there is the instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated; and

modifying, via the at least one processor, in response to determining that there is the instruction to modify one of a region of the disease in the medical image and the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated, the other one of the region of the disease in the medical image and the description of the disease in the interpretation report.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a medical image display program, executable by at least one processor, causing a computer to execute:

analyze, using machine learning, a medical image including a disease, the medical image including a plurality of voxels, and determine an analysis result that the medical image includes a region of the disease when at least one of the plurality of voxels is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value;

create an interpretation report including a description of the disease based on the analysis result;

display the medical image in which the region of the disease is specified and the interpretation report on a display;

determine whether there is an instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated;

determine that there is the instruction to modify the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated; and

modify, in response to determining that there is the instruction to modify, one of a region of the disease in the medical image and the description of the disease in the interpretation report that was generated, the other one of the region of the disease in the medical image and the description of the disease in the interpretation report.
